When a reader comes to a Veritula post via a link, the site should let them know if there is a superseding revised version of it, and if they would like to see that version instead. When I share things with my friends, I want them to see the most current version, not the version that corresponds to the link they have been given at some point in the past.

Right now it depends on the user seeing that it is not the most recent revision on their own.

…the site should let [visitors] know if there is a superseding revised version of [an idea].

There are arrow buttons linking to the previous and next version, and the UI says which version you’re currently looking at.

But there’s no indication that the current version has been superseded.

There is, in the comments.

I would prefer to find out I was reading an outdated version of something before I started reading it, not at the end, and not in the comments.
